INTRODUCTION Human Brain—The most valuable creation of GOD Human Brain—The most valuable creation of GOD The intelligence of a person is lost after his/her death The intelligence of a person is lost after his/her death Is there any solution for this? Is there any solution for this?

WHAT IS BLUE BRAIN? BLUE BRAIN—The world’s first virtual brain BLUE BRAIN—The world’s first virtual brain It’s being developed by IBM It’s being developed by IBM Within 30 years we will be able to scan ourselves into computers Within 30 years we will be able to scan ourselves into computers

WHAT IS VIRTUAL BRAIN? A machine that functions as our Brain A machine that functions as our Brain We can just call it as Artificial Brain We can just call it as Artificial Brain Possible by using Super Computers Possible by using Super Computers

WHY DO WE NEED VIRTUAL BRAIN?? To upload the contents of human brain To upload the contents of human brain To keep a person’s intelligence/skill alive To keep a person’s intelligence/skill alive To remember the things without any effort To remember the things without any effort

FUNCTIONING OF HUMAN BRAIN Sensory Input :- Sensory Input :- Receiving input such as sound,image, etc Receiving input such as sound,image, etc through sensory cell. through sensory cell. Interpretation. Interpretation. Interpretation of the received input by the brain by defining states of neurons in the brain. Interpretation of the received input by the brain by defining states of neurons in the brain. Motor Output. Motor Output. Receiving of electric responses from the brain to perform any action. Receiving of electric responses from the brain to perform any action.

BRAIN SIMUALATION Natural Brain vs Artificial Brain INPUT INPUT Through the natural neurons Through the natural neurons INTERPRETATION INTERPRETATION By different states of the neurons in the brain By different states of the neurons in the brain INPUT INPUT Through the silicon chip or artificial neurons Through the silicon chip or artificial neurons INTERPRETATION INTERPRETATION By a set of bits in the set of register By a set of bits in the set of register

OUTPUT OUTPUT Through the natural neurons. Through the natural neurons. PROCESSING PROCESSING Through arithmetic and logical calculations Through arithmetic and logical calculations OUTPUT OUTPUT Through the silicon chip. Through the silicon chip. PROCESSING PROCESSING Through arithmetic and logical calculation and artificial intelligence Through arithmetic and logical calculation and artificial intelligence

MEMORY MEMORY Through permanent states of neurons Through permanent states of neurons MEMORY MEMORY Through Secondary memory Through Secondary memory

ARTIFICIAL NUERAL NETWORK

UPLOADING HUMAN BRAIN The uploading is possible by the use of small robots known as the nanobots. The uploading is possible by the use of small robots known as the nanobots. These robots are small enough to travel through out our circulatory system. These robots are small enough to travel through out our circulatory system. Nanobots could also carefully scan the structure of our brain, providing a complete readout of the connection. Nanobots could also carefully scan the structure of our brain, providing a complete readout of the connection.

 This information, when entered into a computer, could then continue to function as us.  Thus the data stored in the entire brain will be uploaded into the computer.

RESEARCH WORK IBM developing the “Blue brain” IBM, in partnership with scientists at Switzerland’s Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne’s(EPFL) Brain and Mind Institute will begin simulating the brain’s biological systems IBM, in partnership with scientists at Switzerland’s Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne’s(EPFL) Brain and Mind Institute will begin simulating the brain’s biological systems

Software & Hardware Requirement 22.8 TFLOPS peak processing speed TFLOPS peak processing speed. 8,096 CPUs at 700 MHz (downgraded to handle massive parallel processing). 8,096 CPUs at 700 MHz (downgraded to handle massive parallel processing). 256MB to 512MB memory per processor. 256MB to 512MB memory per processor. Linux and C++ software. Linux and C++ software. 100 kilowatts power consumption. 100 kilowatts power consumption. very powerful Nanobots to act as the interface between the natural brain and the computer. very powerful Nanobots to act as the interface between the natural brain and the computer.

ADVANTAGES Intelligence of a person is not lost even after his death Intelligence of a person is not lost even after his death Things can be remembered easily without much effort Things can be remembered easily without much effort Allowing deaf to hear via nerve simulation Allowing deaf to hear via nerve simulation Making decisions without the presence of the person Making decisions without the presence of the person

DISADVANTAGES We become dependent upon the computer Others may use technical knowledge against us. Another fear is found today with respect to human cloning

We will be able to turn ourselves into computers
